Katie McCarty MSW, LICSW

My name is Katie and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I offer individual therapy to adults as well as children ages 5 and up. 

My therapy style is client-centered, attunement-focused, and relational--  meaning that I pay close attention to what you’re feeling and needing, even when it’s hard to put into words. I aim to really get you-- not just what you're saying, but how you're feeling underneath it. I strive to bring warmth, curiosity, and playfulness to the work, and I’m not afraid to be gently challenging when it helps us move toward growth. I believe that therapy should feel empowering and purposeful. I am here to help you move toward your goals and ultimately feel freer and at ease in the places where you’ve felt stuck or in pain.

I practice from an insight-oriented lens, helping clients explore the deeper roots of emotional and behavioral patterns. At the same time, I incorporate skills-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to offer practical tools for managing symptoms and building resilience.

My professional and educational background also includes a strong focus on the needs of children and families, and I remain deeply passionate about that work. When working with children, I use play therapy, evidence-based social-emotional learning, and provide supportive guidance for parents and caregivers.
